Beim Scheiden der Sonne erschimmert Der Metilstein freundlich und klar; Dort ragen der Mönch und die Nonne Versteinert als Felsenpaar. "Heil, Heil den Neuvermählten!" Sprach Mönch und Nonne zu mir: "Wir hoffen, die beiden besuchen Recht bald unser tannig Revier. "Da breitet sich ihnen zu Füßen Ihr Erbland in wonnigem Schein - Und wenn sie auch wacker sich küssen, Sie werden d'rum nicht gleich zu Stein."

Dans le coucher du soleil brille Le château de Mitelstein aimable et clair ; Là le moine et la nonne se dressent Pétrifié comme un couple de pierres. « Salut, salut à ceux qui sont fraîchement unis ! » Me dirent le moine et la nonne : « Nous espérons que les deux visiteront Très bientôt notre domaine de pins. « Là à leurs pieds s'étendront Les terres ancestrales dans une lumière heureuse -- Et s'ils s'embrassaient courageusement, Ils ne seront pas immédiatement transformés en pierre. »
